Fracture toughness anisotropy in shale
Abstract
The use of hydraulic fracturing to recover shale-gas has focused attention on the
fundamental fracture properties of gas-bearing shales, but there remains a paucity of available
experimental data on their mechanical and physical properties. Such shales are strongly anisotropic,
so that their fracture propagation trajectories depend on the interaction between their anisotropic
mechanical properties and the anisotropic in-situ stress field in...
